The crisis has hit the Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and potentially the governorship aspiration of Senator Samuel Anyanwu in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in the state, as seven members of the State Working Committee, on Sunday morning, announced their resignations from their positions.
They also announced the withdrawal of their memberships from the party.
The aggrieved executives announced during a press conference at the party’s secretariat in Owerri, the state capital.
Collins Opurozor, who until now was the state publicity secretary of the party, said that the candidate of the party for the November 11 governorship election in the state, Samuel Anyanwu, doesn’t have what it takes to govern the state.
He announced that he, the secretary of the party, Ray Emeana, the youth leader, Greg Nwadike, the deputy state chairman, Martin Ejiogu, the state woman leader, Maria Mbakwe, Josiah Eze, the state treasurer and Chibuisi Obido, the state vice chairman, Orlu Zone, have resigned from their positions and equally dumped the party.
They were all present at the press conference and concurred with what Opurozor said when they spoke individually. They however refused to announce which party they were joining, adding that the next party they would join would be made known in the days to come.
